The world has a lot to offer, but it is more enjoyable sharing these experiences with someone special. I consider myself a simple guy. Preferences include comedy over drama, chocolate over vanilla, Coke over Pepsi, Lincoln Center over Broadway, and beef without broccoli. Work usually keeps me focused on business related activities so I try to stay creative outside the office by either catching a special exhibit or testing my lack of skill in the various arts. I'm usually up for trying new things, going off the beaten path, or placing the first footsteps on the road less traveled.

What I’m doing with my life

I usually have my fun just trying to take advantage of the opportunities the city provides. Lately, it has been digging up fossils, some star gazing, volunteering on a non-profit board, and watching a bit of roller derby. Wine tastings and random walks are always nice. Travel is one of my passions. My adventures have taken me from the Galapagos Islands to Egypt to Japan as well as various hot spots across Europe, including Iceland. The photo album, passport stamps, and frequent flyer miles continue to grow, but need to find a travel partner.

I’m really good at

Cheering for the Yankees. Finding creative solutions to problems. Trying to be innovative. Taking on challenges, some are just too hard to resist.
